History Maker…Mo Abudu Becomes First African to Chair International Emmys Gala

Media mogul, Mo Abudu, has become the first African to chair the International Emmy Awards Gala.

News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Abudu performed the role at the recently concluded 47th International Emmy Awards in New York City.

Sharing the moment on her Instagram page on Wednesday. Abudu wrote: “Chairing the International Emmys Gala was such an incredible opportunity for me personally, for EBONYLIFE and for Nigerian TV Producers.

“Now we have our foot in the door which will gradually open wider. Let’s get going with our global stories.”
